1 NOTICE OF INTENT MAPS WITH DESCRIPTIONS Location Map(s) to Accompany Notice of Intent

2 The small corner map embedded in the lower left corner of the large map above shows the location of the three national forests undergoing forest plan revision included in the Notice of Intent. These are the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests. The location of these three national forests within California is shown. They are shown as a light green elliptical area in the southeastern center of the map of California. They occur in the southern third of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the Great Basin to the east. This area includes a small portion of western Nevada. The legend for the map is shown in a box below the small locator map. There are three items in the legend. The national forests are shown in light green. National parks are shown in light yellow. Major highways are shown as thick, dark red lines. Major towns and cities are shown as black dots, with the name in black letters. On the larger map, a close up of this portion of California is shown. The national forests are shown as areas shaded in a light green. The nearby national parks are shown in light yellow. Surrounding areas are shown in white. There is a smaller area shown in light gray to indicate shaded relief where there is a rise in elevation. Major highways are shown with a thick red line. Highway 395 runs along the eastern third of the map from the southeast up slightly to the northwest. Highway 5 is shown on the southwestern corner, running from the southeast up slightly to the northwest. County boundaries are shown as dashed, dark gray lines. Major cities and towns are shown including Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, Bishop, Big Pine, Independence, Lone Pine and Ridgecrest on or near Highway 395 from north to south. The Inyo National Forest occurs as two large linear areas occurring on both sides of Highway 395, and to the north of Death Valley National Park. The western area is the largest and occurs along the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and portions of the flatter areas of the Great Basin to the east. The other large area of the Inyo National Forest is to the east, and includes the White Mountains, straddling a portion of Nevada. The Sierra National Forest is a roughly rectangular shaped area that lies to the west of the northern onethird of the Inyo National Forest, to the south of Yosemite National Park and to the north of the Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park. Yosemite National Park is shown as a large, circular shaped area in the upper left one-quarter of the map. The towns of Mariposa and Oakhurst are shown to the west of the northern one-quarter of the Sierra National Forest. The City of Fresno is shown to the west of the southern one-third of the Sierra National Forest. The Sequoia National Forest is shown in the lower third of the map in light green. It lies south of Sequoia National Park and southwest of the southern portion of the western section of the Inyo National Forest. The largest section of the forest is square shaped with a southwestern leg. Two unconnected sections of the forest lie to the south and southeast of the main forest section. The City of Kernville is displayed with a black dot and in black type. Lake Isabella is displayed between the main forest section and the southernmost unconnected portion of the forest. The Giant Sequoia National Monument is included as part of the forest but not labeled on this map except by a green line within the forest.

3 Strategic Wildfire Management Zones

4 This map shows the distribution of the four proposed wildfire management zones across the Inyo, Sierra, and Sequoia National Forests. The legend is shown in a box in the lower left corner and contains information on the desired conditions and the percent of each forest in the zone. The Community Wildfire Protection Zone is shown in red. The desired condition for this zone is geared toward safe firefighting and protecting assets such as structures and powerlines. The second category is the General Wildfire Protection Zone shown in gold. The desired condition for this zone is geared toward safe firefighting and protecting natural resources and assets such as structures and powerlines. The third category is the Wildfire Restoration Zone shown in tan. It has a desired condition to restore ecological resilience and integrity. The fourth is the Wildfire Maintenance Zone shown in light blue. The desired condition is to maintain ecological resilience and integrity. The general legend includes cross-hatched areas for wilderness, slanted lines for designated roadless areas, yellow areas for national parks and black lines with gray shading for national forest boundaries. In the northwest one-third of the map is the Sierra National Forest. Approximately one-third or 36 percent of the western portion of the Sierra National Forest is shown in red or gold, depicting the wildfire protection zones. These areas cover most of the foothills, some of the montane (mixed conifer and ponderosa pine types), and some of the red fir areas on the forest. The remaining two-thirds of the forest is shown outside of the wildfire protection zones, except for some linear, stringy areas along major roads that go higher in elevation near and between wilderness areas. The eastern edge of the fire protection zones is irregular in shape because the urban intermix areas are more scattered. Fortypercent of the eastern portion of the forest is shaded blue, depicting the Wildfire Maintenance Zone. This area occurs almost entirely in wilderness areas. In between the Protection Zones and the Maintenance Zone, the Restoration Zone makes up 23 percent of the forest. A small portion is in wilderness, some overlaps the small amount of designated roadless area that occurs on the forest, and the rest is intermixed around and to the east of the Protection Areas. The Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are to the south of the Sierra National Forest and occupy about one-fifth of the map area. To the south is the Sequoia National Forest. A large gray area encompassing the Giant Sequoia National Monument is shaded in gray. This is not included in the Wildfire Management Zones shown on the map. About one-fifth or18 percent of the forest area outside the Giant Sequoia National Monument is colored red or gold in the proposed Wildfire Protection zones. This is almost all in the southwestern area on the forest, and the area immediately north of Lake Isabella. Most of the area is around and to the south of Highway 155, and on the southwestern third of the Pauite Mountains. There are a few small areas scattered to the north and northeast. Almost half of the forest is in the Wildfire Maintenance Zone and is shown in blue. This is almost all in the northeastern half, with the majority within wilderness or designated roadless areas. A small portion of the Pauite and Scodie Mountains are proposed to be designated as Wildfire Maintenance Zones. The remaining third of the forest is in the Wildfire Restoration Zone. This is in the lower elevation areas north of Kernville, along the eastern edge, along Highway 178 and in the Scodie Mountains. On the Inyo National Forest, shown along the entire eastern one-third of the map, the Wildfire Protection Zones cover about one-fifth or 18 percent of the forest area, mostly in the northwestern half, along Highway 395 near Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, to the east of Bishop and to the east of Big Pine.

5 There are a few small isolated areas in the southwestern portion on the Kern Plateau. Most of the proposed protection zones are identified as Community Wildfire Protection. There are some additional adjacent areas of gold around these, and a larger gold, General Wildfire Protection Zone in the northeastern portion of the forest, in the Glass Mountains, along the Nevada border. The Inyo has the greatest amount of area in the Restoration Zone, 65 percent, and the least amount in the Maintenance Zone, 18 percent. The majority of the Maintenance Zone on the Inyo National Forest occurs in the south and east or high elevation areas within wilderness. Much of the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada, and much of the White Mountains are proposed as Wildfire Restoration Zones, with much of it overlapping with wilderness and designated roadless areas. All of the area around Mono Lake and Mammoth Lakes and in general the northern one-third of the forest are designated as Wildfire Restoration in areas outside of the protection zones.

6 Comparison of Current Wildland Urban Intermix Zones (WUI) and Proposed Action Wildfire Protection Zones There are three maps below showing an overlay of the current wildland urban intermix zones (WUI) and the Wildfire Protection Zones for the Proposed Action. There is one map for each national forest. The legend and color scheme is the same for each and is described at the beginning, followed by a description for the forest maps. The legend box for each map is shown in the lower left corner. First, there is a dense crosshatch of black lines that depicts the Defense Zone. This is the allocation in the current plans that are directly next to communities and infrastructure such as water development, communication towers, major recreation facilities, cabins or ranches throughout the forests. Next in the legend is a more open black line hatched box that depicts the threat zone in the current plans. These areas extend further out from the defense zones and are based largely on a fixed distance buffer or distance. Next in the legend box are the Protection Zones. First is a red box, labeled Community Wildfire Protection Areas. Second is a gold area denoted General Wildfire Protection. The footnote states that the areas covered by the zones on this map will change as better analysis is done to develop plan alternatives. Below this is a box with more general legend information including black lines with gray inside shadow, showing the national forest boundaries, yellow areas where the national parks are, and single black line showing the state boundary.

7 Comparison of current wildland urban intermix (WUI) zones and Proposed Action wildfire protection zones on the Sierra National Forest

8 The first map is of the fire zones on the Sierra National Forest. The forest covers most of the map, as a general rectangular shape, leaning to the left. There is one arm that extends to the north, on the left boundary. A small portion, of the southern end of Yosemite National Park, is shown as a yellow halfmoon shape in the top tenth of the map. To the east, the Inyo National Forest is shown, with the dividing line along the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. To the southeast and south, Kings- Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are shown in yellow. Only a small portion of the parks is shown. Approximately one-third of the western portion of the Sierra National Forest is colored red or gold, showing the wildfire protection zones. These areas cover most of the foothills, some of the montane (mixed conifer and ponderosa pine types), and some of the red fir areas on the forest. The remaining two-thirds of the forest, is shown outside of the wildfire protection zones, except for some linear, stringy areas along major roads that go higher in elevation near and between wilderness areas. The eastern edge of the fire protection zones is very irregular in shape, because the urban intermix areas are more scattered. On top of the color areas, the current wildland urban intermix zones are shown, with black hatch. These areas are also concentrated along the western boundary, but only cover about one quarter of the total forest area. In the center of the map, along Highway 168, that bisects the western portion of the forest, north to south, the greatest concentration of overlapping current wildland urban intermix and proposed fire protection areas are found. The red and gold areas cover a greater area on the lower elevation, western portions of the forest, and there are larger areas of the current wildland urban intermix zones at the higher elevations. In the proposed action, fire protection zones are about one-tenth of the current wildland urban intermix at these higher elevations. Overall, there is about half of the wildfire protection zones that is colored red, showing the community wildfire protection zone, and the other half in gold, showing the general wildfire protection zone. In the current plan, the majority of the area is depicted as a threat zone and a very limited area as a defense zone.

9 Comparison of current wildland urban intermix (WUI) zones and Proposed Action wildfire protection zones on the Sequoia National Forest

10 This map is of the fire zones on the Sequoia National Forest. The forest covers most of the map, as a general rectangular shape, leaning to the left. There is one arm that extends to the north, on the left boundary. A small portion, of the southern end of Yosemite National Park is shown as a yellow halfmoon shape in the top tenth of the map. To the east, the Inyo National Forest is shown with the dividing line along the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. To the southeast and south, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are shown in yellow. Only a small portion of the parks is shown. Approximately one-third of the western portion of the Sequoia National Forest is shown in red or gold, depicting the wildfire protection zones. These areas cover most of the foothills, some of the montane (mixed conifer and ponderosa pine types), and some of the red fir areas on the forest. The remaining two-thirds of the forest is shown outside of the wildfire protection zones, except for some linear, stringy areas along major roads that go higher in elevation near and between wilderness areas. The eastern edge of the fire protection zones is very irregular in shape because the urban intermix areas are more scattered. On top of the color areas, the current wildland urban intermix zones are shown in hatched black. These areas are also concentrated along the western boundary, but only cover about one-quarter of the total forest area. In the center of the map, along Highway 168 that bisects the western portion of the forest north to south, the greatest concentration of overlapping current wildland urban intermix and proposed fire protection areas are found. The red and gold areas cover a greater area on the lower elevation western portions of the forest, and there are larger areas of the current wildland urban intermix zones at the higher elevations. In the Proposed Action, fire protection zones are about one-tenth of the current wildland urban intermix at these higher elevations. Overall, there is about half of the wildfire protection zones colored red, showing the community wildfire protection zone, and the other half gold, depicting the general wildfire protection zone. In the current plan, the majority of the area is shown as a threat zone, and a very limited area shown as a defense zone.

11 Comparison of current wildland urban intermix (WUI) zones and Proposed Action wildfire protection zones on the Inyo National Forest

12 The Inyo National Forest map has the same legend and color scheme as the Sierra National Forest. In this map, the Inyo National Forest occurs as two long, irregular linear shapes running from northwest to southeast in the map. The western border, along the crest of the Sierra Nevada is bounded by the Sierra National Forest, the Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, and in the south, by the northeastern edge of the Sequoia National Forest. To the east are Owens Valley, and then the eastern most portion of the Inyo National Forest, with the north-south trending White Mountains. To the southeast is Death Valley National Park. The border between California and Nevada crosses diagonally across the upper right, onethird of the map. The Proposed Wildfire Protection Zones, shown as red and gold, cover about one fifth of the forest area, mostly in the northwestern half, along Highway 395 near Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, to the east of Bishop and to the east of Big Pine. There are a few small isolated areas in the southwestern portion on the Kern Plateau. Most of the proposed protection zones are identified as Community Wildfire Protection. There are some additional adjacent areas of gold around these and a larger gold General Wildfire Protection Zone in the northeastern portion of the forest in the Glass Mountains along the Nevada border. The current wildland intermix areas overlap in general with some portions of the proposed Wildfire Protection Zones, but cover less total area. In the Mammoth Lakes area, to the east of Bishop, and in the June Lakes area there is mostly overlap. There are other smaller dispersed areas that are shown as proposed Community Wildfire Protection Zones that currently have a larger, circular area of threat zone. Areas on the Kern Plateau, in the southwestern portion of the forest, and isolated areas in the White Mountains, were previously not mapped as Wildland-Urban Intermix Zones.

13 Elevational/Ecological Zone Maps There are three maps showing the Elevational/Ecological Zones for the three national forests. The purpose of these maps is to display the areas that correspond with major categories of desired conditions for vegetation and fire. There is one map for each national forest. The legend and color scheme is the same for each and is described first. After that, a description for the Sierra, Sequoia and Inyo National Forest maps follow. These maps are in draft stage and as the plans are developed they may be refined. One of the refinements will be to add greater detail for specific vegetation types where desired conditions vary. The legend has common vegetation types and colors for major types that are common on all three forests. There are some types that are common only to the Inyo and Sequoia National Forests, occurring in the drier areas to the east of the crest of the Sierra Nevada. These are identified below for each forest map description. The following colors are common to all maps shown in the legend: green for subalpine and alpine areas, and dark tan for upper montane red fir, lodgepole pine, and Jeffrey pine areas. On the Sierra and Sequoia National Forests, there is also a gold/tan color that depicts areas in the foothill zone at lowest elevations.

14 Elevational/ecological zones on the Sierra National Forest

15 The first map is of the elevation/ecological zones on the Sierra National Forest. The forest covers most of the map, as a general rectangular shape, leaning to the left. There is one arm that extends to the north, on the left boundary. A small portion, of the southern end of Yosemite National Park, is shown as a yellow half-moon shape in the top tenth of the map. To the east the Inyo National Forest is shown with the dividing line along the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. To the southeast and south, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are shown in yellow. Only a small portion of the parks is shown. The foothill zone, shown in gold/tan color, covers approximately one-fifth of the western, lowest elevation portions of the forest. It extends up the San Joaquin River Canyon, about halfway into the body of the forest, in a linear shape along the canyon. The foothill area includes chaparral, blue-oak woodlands and grasslands, and live oak vegetation. To the east and higher in elevation, shown in purple is the montane mixed conifer, ponderosa pine and black oak zone. This area covers approximately one third of the forest area. Above that in elevation and to the east is the upper montane zone, shown in dark tan. Red fir, Jeffrey pine and lodgepole pine forests are the primary vegetation types in the upper montane zone. It also encompasses about one-third of the forest area. At the highest elevations, along the eastern edge, the subalpine and alpine vegetation is shown in green.

16 Elevational/ecological zones on the Sequoia National Forest

17 The Sequoia National Forest map has the same legend and color scheme as the Sierra National Forest. The exception is that there is an added light gray shade that covers the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The forest covers about one-third of the map area. Most of the forest area is in the lower half of the map area. It is generally an irregular rectangular area, with a linear, foot shaped area extending to the southwest. To the east, is a separate block to the south of Lake Isabella, the Paiute Mountains, and farther to the east, another smaller block, to the southeast of the forest lays the Scodie Mountains, below Highway 178 that goes east to west. The north of the forest is bounded by the Sequoia National Park, shown in yellow. There is a small piece of the Sequoia National Forest to the north of the western edge of the park, but almost all of it is within the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The Giant Sequoia National Monument occupies about one-third of the western portion of the forest. The foothills, gold/tan areas, occur as two major areas outside of the Giant Sequoia National Monument. One is along Highway 178 between Bakersfield to the west and Lake Isabella. The other area is north of Lake Isabella along the river canyon. These two areas combined comprise approximately onetenth of the forest area. Most of the national forest is comprised of montane mixed conifer, pine (ponderosa and Jeffrey pine) and black oak vegetation types. This area, shown in purple, covers almost all of the Pauite Mountains, and all but one-third of the eastern area on the forest. In a narrow, irregular strip along the eastern boundary and much of the Scodie Mountains, Pinyon-juniper/sagebrush and other Great Basin or desert vegetation types occur. The upper Montane Red fir, Lodgepole pine, and Jeffrey pine zone occurs in a large swath from north to south across approximately one-quarter of the forest area in the eastern half. The subalpine and alpine zone occurs in a small area to the north along the border with the Sequoia National Park.

18 Elevational/ecological zones on the Inyo National Forest

19 The Inyo National Forest map has the same legend and color scheme as the Sequoia National Forest but with some additional vegetation types, found in the Great Basin on the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada. These include: alpine areas shown as white patches; desert areas shown as dark yellow; Jeffrey pine shown as dark gray; mountain mahogany shown as wine red; sagebrush as aqua green; white fir as gold/tan and special types as purple. In this map, the Inyo National Forest occurs as two long, irregular, linear shapes running from northwest to southeast in the map. The western border, along the crest of the Sierra Nevada is bounded by the Sierra National Forest, the Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, and in the south, by the northeastern edge of the Sequoia National Forest. To the east are Owens Valley, and the eastern-most portion of the Inyo National Forest, with the north-south trending White Mountains. To the southeast is Death Valley National Park. The border between California and Nevada crosses diagonally across the upper right, one-third of the map. The vegetation on this map is more detailed than for the other two national forests because a more specific ecological unit inventory map was used. This involved photo interpretation of aerial photography, as opposed to generalized elevational rules on the other two forests. Starting with the eastern linear portion, encompassing the White Mountains, the general patterns of vegetation are as follows. Most of the White Mountain portion is covered by Pinyon-Juniper/Sagebrush vegetation. These areas are mosaics of both Pinyon- Juniper woodlands and sagebrush or both intermixed. At the eastern and western, a low elevation fringe as narrow bands, desert vegetation is shown. In the interior in a linear band, covering about one quarter of this range is a large area of high elevation sagebrush, surrounded and intermixed with smaller areas of alpine, subalpine forests, and mountain mahogany. The western half of the Inyo National Forest has some distinct patterns in the north, the center and the south. These are described separately. In the north, near Mono Lake, Lee Vining, and Mammoth Lakes, large areas of subalpine forest and upper montane forests occur along the eastern escarpment. Between Mono Lake and the east of Mammoth Lake, several large areas of Jeffrey pine occur in the flatter Great Basin topography. Intermixed and nearby are large areas of sagebrush and some smaller areas of special types. The special types represent less common plant communities found on pebble plains or alkaline flats. On the eastern portion of this part of the forest, Pinyon-Juniper and sagebrush are found. To the south of this part of the forest, a long, linear area of the forest occurs occupying about two-thirds of the total length. This occurs primarily along the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada, east of Bishop, Big Pine and Lone Pine. The mountains rise steeply up and the vegetation reflects these changes. Along the eastern edge, at the lower elevations, large swaths of sagebrush and Pinyon-Juniper vegetation occur. Above that and intermixed some are regular, varied sized patches of mountain mahogany and a few small patches of white fir. There are some areas of subalpine forest but sometimes these are almost too narrow to see and there is a rapid transition to alpine vegetation. Most of these areas are directly to the east of Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. The southernmost portion of the Inyo National Forest is almost circular in shape, and borders both the Sequoia National Park and the Sequoia National Forest in the Kern Plateau. Desert and then above that Pinyon-Juniper/sagebrush occur along the eastern edge. Subalpine forest covers most of the area, about two-thirds, shown as a large green patch. There are also large areas of upper montane forest and white fir, covering an estimated one-quarter of the area. Scattered within are some areas with special types, mostly along edges of large meadows.
